Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier spread, consider adding 1/4 cup of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. If you're looking for a healthier option, swap out the bacon for turkey bacon or even diced ham from your Excellent Way To Fix Ham. Adding chopped green onions or chives can enhance the flavor. Adjust the Parmesan cheese to your preference; a sharper cheese can add more depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this spread on crusty bread or as filling for sandwiches. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or fresh vegetables. For a fun twist, use it as a dip for crackers or toast points. This dish is also excellent for brunch gatherings, alongside dishes like Ranch Mash Potatoes or Baked Ham And Cheese Sandwiches.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If the spread thickens, mix in a little more mayonnaise before serving.
